The ejidos of Caracas and their restitution and demarcation 2nd edition

The ejidos as a legal concept of land tenure in the municipal sphere and jurisdiction for the benefit of the population remain in force and should be relaunched and vindicated. Their former function as a land reserve for the expansion of cities is maintained, adapted to the current social and urban situation and to the new legal references. The construction of public works of social interest, the building of housing, the awarding of title deeds to the inhabitants of the neighborhoods of the land once they have been disaffected, give the ejidos a great relevance in a country with an essentially urban population. It is therefore necessary and urgent to demarcate, define and restitute the ejido lands. The city of Caracas, founded in 1567, has had ejidos since 1594, when the Governor of the Province of Venezuela, Don Diego de Osorio, decreed them as such, with the purpose of providing Santiago de León with a reserve of forests, water, pastures and firewood for its neighbors and for its urban expansion.
